Platform Engineer

A. Placeholder

Eight years building and running infrastructure that other engineers depend on. Happiest at the boundary between a platform and the people using it, and generally the one asking why a step exists at all.

Key achievements
Halved deploy time Replaced a bespoke release script with a declarative pipeline, taking the median deploy from 22 minutes to 9 and removing the one person who understood it from the critical path.
Cut spend by a third Found and switched off what nobody owned. Most of the saving was idle capacity reserved for a peak that had moved two years earlier.
